“Bill Belichick makes it real easy for you to root against the Patriots,” analyst Shannon Sharpe said. “You can’t be a poor sport all the time. You’re not gonna win all the time. And he does this every time he loses. It’s unacceptable.”

Sharpe is right about one thing. The Hooded One makes it easy to root against the Patriots. So easy that CBS analysts and countless fans develop Kill Bill Fever whenever Belichick stumbles. The symptoms are an acute loss of objectivity, bulging eyes and diarrhea mouth.

“Tell them to have fun in the Pro Bowl,” Terrell Suggs yelled in the Ravens’ locker room. “Arrogant [expletive]!”

And he didn’t even know about the affront to CBS.

To Terrell, Shannon, all of you afflicted with Kill Bill: Please lie down, put a cold towel on your forehead and take a reality pill. Belichick still is the best coach in the NFL who doesn’t buy Jack Harbaugh a Father’s Day card.

Yes, it’s now eight years since New England won it all. It just shows how good Belichick is when anything less than a Super Bowl title is considered an abject coaching failure.

As for blowing off CBS, whoop-de-do.

Peyton Manning did it last week, and Sharpe didn't have to be peeled off the studio wall. Of course, Manning usually is Mr. Affable.

Belichick is always Mr. Bill. A study showed four out of five doctors would rather give themselves a colonoscopy than spend two minutes with Belichick.

We’ve all seen his post-game press conferences. Sunday was the usual hostage-video performance. But Belichick gave credit to the Ravens. He took the blame for the loss.

He stood there and answered all 19 questions. More precisely, he mumbled through 19 answers.

“We’re obviously disappointed that we didn’t win,” Belichick said. “I don’t know, I said that right off the bat. We’re disappointed in the results. What else do you want me to say?”

We want you to lighten up, be expansive, stop acting as if the media just ran over your dog. Belichick is that way after every loss. He’s that way after every win.

He is just that way, and everybody should have accepted it about 5,000 press conferences ago. Belichick cares only about winning, not how he comes off on camera. And the simple fact is nobody has won like the Patriots.

They went 12-4 this season, even though Rob Gronkowski and the secondary were missing much of the year. The Pats couldn’t stop Joe Flacco after cornerback Aqib Talib went down in the first half Sunday.

Every team has such problems. None overcome them as consistently as the Patriots.

They’ve made the playoffs 10 times in 12 years. They haven’t won enough Super Bowls to mollify critics, but Belichick always has them in contention.

You know why, of course. Spy-gate.

New England cheated its way to those three Super Bowl wins. Without secret videotape, Belichick would be Rich Kotite.

The tapes were turned over in 2007. Since 2008, the Patriots are 60-20 in the regular season. That’s by far the best record in the league.

The Kill Billers ignore that. They forget that if not for two astounding passes by Eli Manning, New England would have five Super Bowl titles under Belichick.

All credit to Eli. But some appreciation must go to Bill. He just makes it so darned hard.

His friends swear that under the hoodie is a great guy. Belichick was the president of his frat in college. Any pal of Jon Bon Jovi can’t be a total bore.

Belichick doesn’t talk about his personal life, but his civic deeds are listed on his bio. They go beyond surface gestures. He’s visited prisons and gangs with Jim Brown. Chances are he’s more helpful to the inmates than the media.

Belichick was at it again Monday morning in his last press conference of the season. He lamented the “crash landing” but confirmed he’ll be back next season.

“You’ll have to deal with me again next year,” he said. “I know that’s disappointing for a lot of you.”

Maybe for Sharpe, and certainly for everyone who thinks Belichick is a classless, cheating, grumbling, overweening, overvalued, oversensitive loser.
